I just installed SID yesterday thru the testing netinst CD, and I'm having a problem installing the desktop environment. It gives me an error that I need the evolution package, and when I go ahead and try to install this one,it tells me that I'm missing libsoup2.2-7, but which is not avaialable for install.
Any ideas what should I do?

Try putting a line for testing in your /etc/apt/sources.list then update to refresh the package caches then try the install. You may want to remove the line after you are done installing.
thank you, I will prolly switch all of them to testing, and stick around on testing for a while, too many problems I had with SID. Gnome freezes, etc...
